I have had a lot of questions about Vegetarian Silk recently, mainly because it is featured in Isabel Hall’s newest book. It is a product that I love using, it is soft and can be manipulated easily. There are other uses too (buy Isabel’s book to find out about some of them) and you can find out more here. This little stitching was made using it.
Follow the above link to read more about the stitching too. Isabel will be at the Knitting and Stitching Shows.
…. this blog, you would have seen that I’ve been asked to write a new course. What fun! I’ll give you more details when I’ve sorted it out.
Last night we visited the Embroiderers’ Guild in Chelmsford. I gave a talk and demonstration on the embellisher, and I had a lovely time! Afterwards there was a chance for members to try one of the three machines we took with us, and I’m glad to say that several gave it a go! It was a truly lovely evening and we were looked after very well.
Unfortunately we travelled home at ‘that time of night’. Those of you that don’t know the M25 won’t realise that there is a lot of reconstruction happening at the moment. Many of the lanes are closed at various times – and last night several stretches were down to a single carriageway. It was tedious, and therefore nearly 1am by the time we arrived home. We weren’t frustrated, though – what’s the point? There was absolutely nothing we could do about it, so we just patiently joined the queue.
Today I’ve been enjoying myself on the sewing machine. I had some work to finish, and at the same time I’ve been making some more cards. Here’s one using my hand-dyed paper.
All cards are for sale, and would also look good in a little frame. If you would like to buy one let me know.
